ROMAN GLASS BALL FLASK - 150 AD - FREE SHIPPING
A Roman light green glass ball flask measuring 6.3 cm in height and dated ca. 150 AD, the Early Christian Period. This flask was discovered in Syria and has an indented bottom and a globular body growing to a restricted neck and a flared and rounded rim. A minor crack can be seen in the center section of the body and a light dirt encrustation is on the interior. Shipping is free and the vessel is in very good condition.

A bottle such as this might have been used to hold scented oils or perfumes and would be a quite valued item. The people of the roman Empire used more glass articles than any other ancient civilization. By the first century AD glass items were common household pieces. Most glass had a pleasant blue, green or blue tinge although clear glass was not unknown.
